The average hit its all-time high on 29 December 1989, during the peak of the Japanese asset price bubble, when it reached an intra-day high of 38,957.44, before closing at 38,915.87, having grown sixfold during the decade. Subsequently, it lost nearly all these gains, closing at 7,054.98 on March 10th, 2009 — 81.9% below its peak nearly twenty years earlier. On March 15th 2011, the second working day after the massive earthquake in the northeast part of Japan, the index dropped over 10% to finish at 8605.15, a loss of 1,015 points. The index continued to drop throughout 2011, bottoming out at 8160.01 on November 25th, putting it at its lowest close since March 31st, 2009.

However, by 2018, the index growth has been more moderate at around the 22,000 mark. There is concern that the rise since 2013 is artificial and due to purchases by the Bank of Japan ("BOJ").
